VISEART Paris Love Letter ÉTENDU Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

I fell madly in love with the new VISEART Paris Love Letter ÉTENDU Eyeshadow Palette the second that I saw it, and I purchased it sight unseen without any hesitation. While I do not need any more eyeshadow palettes, by any stretch of the imagination, I love the quality of VISEART so much that I quickly added it to my shopping cart! 

This beautiful palette is the perfect embodiment of springtime! It is largely a warm-toned palette, but the lilac, taupe and green shades make it far more special than your average warm neutral palette. It features 12 shadows and half of them are matte and the other half are satin metallics. The mattes are a bit drier and more powdery than the satin metallics, but all of them are ultra-finely milled and they glide across the skin with ease and deposit color evenly. The formula is exquisite across all 12 shades, and all of them offer buildable coverage. I am delighted by this fetching palette and its beautiful color story. Additionally, VISEART is a cruelty-free brand that you can feel good about using.

Shade Descriptions: 

Letterbox: "Light creamy-beige neutral with a matte finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, a brow bone highlight shade, and a highlight hue for deeper skin, mix this tone to lighten other tones." I would describe this as a light warm peach matte. It has a soft powder texture that spreads across the lids easily and deposits color effortlessly.

Beloved: "Light champagne peach with a satin metallic finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, as a highlight in the center of the eye, mixed into the shade ‘Cupid’ to brighten the eyes and cheekbones." This is a beautiful twinkling golden peachy champagne shade with a satin metallic finish. It is silky-smooth and creamy. It is an utterly gorgeous shade.

Charmed: "Bright peach with a metallic satin finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, can be mixed with any of the matte shades to create a fresh, healthy glow."  This is more of gorgeous deeper peach, with a touch of coral, that is underscored by a beautiful golden shimmer.

Chocolatier: "Neutral deep brown with a matte finish. Use: as an all over lid colour for a smokey eye look, as a mid-tone crease colour, and as an eyeliner and brow shade." This is a very deep, rich and warm chocolate matte that I think is perfect for smudging into the lash-line.

Sonnet: "Soft dove nude with a matte finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, blend with other shades to lighten them, use as a highlight under the brow bone." This is a soft peachy caramel brown that has a lovely matte finish.

Cupid: "Fresh kissed coral pink with a matte finish. Use: as an all over lid and crease colour, can be used as a blush for light to medium skin." This is a matte tangerine shade that is soft to the touch and it is of exquisite quality.

Blooming: "Fresh, leaf green with a satin metallic finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, blend with lighter shade to create a soft celadon look." This bright green shade is the embodiment of spring. It have a lovely metallic finish and a gorgeous creamy texture.

Lovelorn: "Creamy light cantaloupe with a matte finish. Use: as an all over lid and crease colour, and as a blush for light skin tones." This is such a lovely cantaloupe shade that has just a hint of golden custard. The matte finish is soft and cream to the touch.

Arrow: "Creamy, soft, neutral buff brown with a matte finish. Use: as an all over lid and crease colour, to define light to medium brows." This is a wonderful warm golden brown matte that is soft and stunning.

Poème: "Light cantaloupe with a satin metallic finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, as a highlight in the center of the eye, blend with deeper shades to create a smokey, seductive eye look." This is a fetching peach with an undercurrent of a light and warm chocolate. The satin metallic finish and the soft and creamy texture makes this a dreamy shadow.

Amour: "Light lilac with a satin metallic finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, as a highlight in the center of the eye, blend with deeper shades to create a smokey, seductive eye look." This cooler toned lilac shadow is just such a gorgeous purple shade. The satin metallic texture is deliriously beautiful, and the soft and creamy texture is a delight to use.

Ballad: "Deep gunmetal brown with a satin metallic finish. Use: as an all over lid colour, as a highlight in the center of the eye, blend with deeper shades to create a smokey, seductive eye look." This is a stunning taupe that is a taupe-lovers dream-come-true. Half of the reason that bought this palette was this tantalizing shade. The satin metal finish is stunning and the creamy-dreamy texture is extraordinary.
